I had a old Geo tracker that I did with primer then the cheep rubberized undercoating. Held up for two northern Maine winters before I sold it. Maybe you want to consider that route for added protection.

Finally got a second set of hands, So we got the engine off the old frame,
Cut off the engine mount pylons, Swapped the axles , and mocked the engine into the new frame... Mounts are tacked in place...

The reason I asked about the welder was I have a lincoln 135 from HD and I wasn't sure if it would be up to the taks of welding on the fram. I have some pieces of scrap steel I set aside both thin 18 and some 1/4 inch stuff to practise on. Its good to know that it will be able to do what I need.

Look what arrived!!! Tomorrows project, so I can hoist the motor for the last time...Install the brackets, finish welding the pylons, and then I can get the second coat paint done, along with the eastwood inside frame coating done...

Mounted my Brown dog super brackets.....Finished welding the pylons and gave her a second coat of paint....External and internal...The Eastwood stuff is the nuts..The sprayer hose does a decent job. Even when I was mid frame the mist was coming out the rear...

I had picked up a used alternator 136 amp, and it matches the part number for the swap, but this one is internally regulated (top one) so can't use it... Decided new was a better choice considering almost everything else under the hood is or will be..
